Today we take you on a journey of discovery to Bocacangrejo, a hidden gem on the enchanting island of Tenerife, not far from the capital Santa Cruz. The small village has gained popularity in recent years, after one of its inhabitants, Rafa, decided to repaint the promenade by filling it with colourful hearts, which are now all over the web. The streets, house buildings and narrow alleys are entirely covered with hearts of all shapes and colours. These hand-painted works of art are a true treasure, a symbol of the love and creativity of its inhabitants. Every detail is taken care of with love and dedication, making each house a testimony of unparalleled beauty and exuding the warmth and welcome typical of the people of Tenerife. For Rafa, the most important thing is love, and walking through the narrow alleys of Bocacangrejo that tell of fishermen’s stories long gone, you can’t help but feel the same way.
Whether you are looking for some peace and quiet, want to spend a real Canarian Sunday or simply if the images of Bocacangrejo have made you dream, a visit to this uniquely beautiful village is a must on your trip to Tenerife!
